Introducing Sandnessjøen
Watching over Sandnessjøen, the main commercial centre of Nordland’s southern coast, is the imposing Syv Søstre (Seven Sisters) range, just to its south. Hardy hikers can reach all seven summits (910m to 1072m) in a day and every several years there’s a competition taking in all the peaks. However, don’t bust a gut trying to crack the record of three hours, 54 minutes.

Central Sandnessjøen’s backbone is pedestrianised Torolv Kveldulvsons gate, one block from the harbour. The tourist office (75 04 45 00; www.helgelandskysten.com; 9am-7pm Mon-Fri, 10am-4pm Sat, noon-4pm Sun mid-Jun–mid-Aug, 9am-4pm Mon-Fri rest-of-year) is by the docks. It hires bicycles (per hour/day Nkr40/125) and has internet access (per minute Nkr1).
